I also recently saw Legally Blonde and for the most part it held up really well! Some of Paulette's dialogue is, to put it mildly, not PC (I sometimes forget how casually the r-slur was just thrown around in the early 2000s) but otherwise it was really fun. With the gay rep...I personally think the pool boy sequence was hilarious, but I and most of my friends are gay so I can say it's funny for me. I don't know how I'd feel about a straight person watching it and laughing. The lesbian character could have used some nuance but honestly it was just wild that there was a lesbian character at all in that film.

I think the main difference with Legally Blonde holding up well versus Mean Girls is the tone? Legally Blonde is achingly sincere while Mean Girls is...well, meaner, so its stereotyping is edgier. Plus there was some race stuff featured in Mean Girls that wasn't particularly present in Legally Blonde, and imo race jokes are harder to pull off unless you put a lot of thought into them, which I felt Mean Girls didn't. (Don't get me wrong, Mean Girls was very formative to me and I can quote it to this day, but I would say it's tone and it's willingness to go places set it up to not age well.)
